Episode Description:

This episode originally aired on YouTube.  

Millions of people struggle with anxiety (among other symptoms), often without understanding its true origins or how to help resolve it. There are a lot of factors and circumstances that influence how and to what extent someone might struggle.

In this episode, I delve into the intricate connection between childhood trauma and adult anxiety/struggle. I talk about how our past experiences shape our present fears. I also share insights on recognizing trauma-related anxiety, understanding its various manifestations, and beginning the journey toward healing.

Remember, understanding the source of your anxiety is the first step towards reclaiming your peace of mind. No matter how deeply rooted your fears may be, healing is possible. Your anxiety doesn't define you – it's simply a part of your journey, and with the right tools and understanding, you can learn to navigate… and even release it.

Episode Notes:

- Childhood trauma is a significant contributor to adult anxiety and other struggles, as trauma permeates every area of life.

- Anxiety in trauma survivors often stems from deep-rooted fears, even if those fears are not consciously recognized in adulthood.

- Healing involves addressing the unresolved fear and pain from childhood, which continues to affect the nervous system and overall well-being.

- Anxiety can manifest in various ways, such as constant worry, the need for control, or fear in relationships, and recognizing these patterns is crucial for healing.

- Coping with anxiety requires reality testing and gradual retraining of the mind and body to respond differently to triggers, although this process takes time and practice.
